The whole movie is online a few different places. Good special effects, decent plot, stupid ending we've seen a thousand times. The Rorshack (Misspelled?) character stole the movie though. I'm hoping for a spinoff on that guy. Merciless hardass goodguy the whole way.
Just a warning for those "Super Hetero" guys like me out there. You see the blue guy's cash and prizes throughout the movie. Just when you're interested, BAM. Shaven Blue Wang and Balls.
I loved the movie. Blue wang and all! I thought it was refreshing to see a movie where the Heroes aren't just shooting rainbows out of their asses or pretending they're dark (Batman) and mean etc etc. Rorschach was def a great character and I thought Dr. Manhattan was pretty awesome as well. Without giving too much away... I'd love to see what he does w/ what he says he's going to do at the end.
Yo, I totally saw that film about the gay dyslexic. It really picked up in the third act.
But Watchmen blew. Awesome premise and source material, awesome visuals and people exploding and hot actors, but it blew. Underworld III was more exciting.
most overhyped movie in a long time. tried to read the graphic novel... found it to be boring and sh*tty artwork- really bad even by graphic novel standards. it will make boatloads of money in the theater and on dvd... but the critics hate it and i think it blows chunks as well. watchmen=yawn...
I'm normally into comic book movies like this, but I d/l a copy of it and only got about half way before I gave up, maybe it got better after that, but the half I saw just didn't seem all that good.
I <3 Watchmen-the-book, but that adaptation sucked asshole. "Sounds of Silence"? I didn't realize Mrs. Robinson was trying to fuck Nite Owl. God bless Malin Ackerman's naked, naked body though.
Of course all the small-dicked fanboys hate it (read: have big blue penis envy). Also, Patrick Wilson's naked ass is hot & Malin Ackerman has nice boobies.
I'm tired of full-time jerk superheroes. Watchmen was sort of over the hill out of the gate since its value is historical and it paved the way for characters like Wolverine. It's influence was already there in all of the recent superhero movie attempts.
The graphic novel is pretty old, so it's actually impressive how well it holds up today.
Some people (#4) just enjoy being the first one in a thread to shit on something popular. Maybe try going outside and enjoying your life instead of playing the role of the fat computer-bound cynic.
Not for me, thanks. Don't get me wrong, I've read a comic book or two in my time but I don't have the patience required for three hours of this kind of nonsense.
There's always a contingent of dufii who twitter on about how "dark" and "realistic" and "intense" these type movies are, somehow always forgetting that all that intense dark realism is window-dressing for a story about muscly-arm guys who can fly (or maybe just melt rocks when they take their glasses off and squint hard), dress in brightly-colored clown costumes, and fight crime for free.
I'm sorry, I never buy into these stories: they're unbelievably turgid, they last forever and a day, and the "heroes" are even grimmer and more pretentious than those film major-geeks Todd describes in the intro!
#29: Hey, you're right! I probably am a film geek. And maybe one day I too will be cool enough to afford Spock ears and plastic lightsabers, and attend a real-life comic-book convention.
At least, that'll always be the dream. Until then, I suppose I'll have to make do with dreary ol' real life, and sleeping with my wife in a big bed sans Spiderman sheets.
to every "fan" of the graphic novel, the songs used in the movie were chosen because lines from those songs had been quoted at the end of each chapter. so.... try re-reading the book.
and to the "superhero movie lovers" who hated the movie, or couldn't get into the book, that's because it's NOT a superhero movie. with the exception of the blue wanged man, none of them are superhuman with any special abilities. they're regular idiots running around in costumes. if you were expecting people to fly and shoot lasers, this isn't the film for you.
#20, Izbeth: I can only wonder how one could create a spinoff of a dead character based on a comic book taking place in another time-line where superhero's exist. Guess your right, everything but that was plausable. Wierd how they're making a new X-Men film that has Prof Xavier in it, even though I thought he died in the last one. Sounds like somebody just got served.
#37: But not nearly as much as they love the whole comic-book geek who goes all Chris Crocker over the first discouraging word uttered over the latest piece-of-shit superhero movie thing. Because that shit is way hot.
And the sight of X-MEN #259 in a mylar bag? That's like an index finger rubbing her G-spot right there.
"Scale back that ego" = "Ow, that hurts...cut it out!"
Well - which way do you want it? Five minutes ago your story was "women don't want film snobs, they want comic book geeks waving their plastic lightsabers in public"....now suddenly it's "duuuude....you're on a gossip site....only gay men show up here in the first place!" (I'm assuming you have an excuse handy to let you off the hook on that score, too....)
Why not just save everyone time, and just admit you're a mouthy asshole who got pantsed three different times on this thread?
I thought the movie was pretty damn good. it had interesting characters and a pretty well though out plot line. The action and the characters made it a pretty fun movie to watch, and I don't know why people are saying it sucked. I thought it was one of the better movies lately.

Leave Your CommentNetflix will have that one black and white movie about the improbable love of an amputee Nazi and her gay dyslexic housekeeper.

This movie is fricking stupid! This just proves how dumb the audience is today and lack of talent in Hollywood.

Was it that bad? Wanted to see it, give me some more feedback.

Todd I totally follow you on your hatred for pretentious pseudo-intellectual film snobs, but that doesn't change the fact that Watchmen sucked.

#11, If you didnt read the graphic novel, you probably won't love the movie. Myself, I fully enjoyed it, even the new ending.

Not really sure how they might have a spinoff on a dead character...excellent foresight though!
not really.

Ragno, the bottom line is you are a male reading a celebrity gossip blog. Reflect on that, maybe scale back that ego a notch or two.
